Daria Bruno, youngest child of 6 and only daughter of a prominent Providence, RI surgeon grew up with no intimate knowledge of guns. Her father, a World War II navy officer, owned a couple of antique firearms and her brothers shot .22 rifles at summer camp, but theirs was no gun family. The young Daria had no desire to shoot or own a pistol or rifle.

After graduating from Classical High School in Providence, Bruno enrolled at Boston’s Emerson College, where she majored in Mass Communications. A high school internship had sparked an enduring interest in radio and after graduating from Emerson she became a disc jockey for a Fitchburg, MA station. Once she got on the air, she was hooked it became her whole focus in life.

Responsible firearms use requires hands-on experience. Get the skills you need to handle a gun with confidence. You will shoot safety, accurately and effectively in just one 2 hour session. Plus learn about SAFE STORAGE and YOUR RESPONSIBILITY as a GUN USER and GUN OWNER! Get the FACTS!

Daria is among the best! I've had many, many teachers on a wide range of subjects and she ranks way up there. Clear, patient, extremely personable. I had a great intro to shooting. I only wish no one could buy a gun without her excellent safety instructions.

Daria spent all afternoon with my group of 3, first teaching us about safety, the science involved, common mistakes and tips for success. We tried several different pistols and got a feel for how they differ, what we liked and what we didn't. Daria was informative, patient and a great communicator. Highly recommend trying it out.
